How do you close feel? What do you look like? How do you feel? I'm sure none of these are new to you, but I thought I thrown them out there.<BR/><BR/>Another suggestion I have, if you're interested; Iowa Avenue is sponsoring a Take Off to a Tighter Ass Challenge. You set the goal of how many lunges and squats you think you can do each day for two months, and track your progress. By the summer, you might be a little sore, but your ass will look better..........:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174683745084046065.post-47373799814664769892008-01-29T19:34:00.001-05:002008-01-29T19:34:00.001-05:00I definitely think you need to eat more. try snack...I definitely think you need to eat more. try snacking in between meals if you don't want to eat more at each meal or start eating earlier in the day. When I started WW I I was given 20 points and at first it worked out great, I lost, then after a few weeks nothing was happening, and it was around the time I started to do some daily exercise. Then I decided to go back to SparkPeople and log my calories in addition to my points and realized that for me 20 points wasn't even 1200 calories a day. Technically I was starving myself, which was my original problem and why I lost as soon as I joined WW because it made me eat more than usual. So I did a few weeks of just calorie countine and BAM all kinds of weight off, so I reassesed my points and realized that for me, 23 was the right number. Our bodies really do need a certain amount of fuel in order to burn more. I do totally understand your fear of eating more and gaining, because I was the same way, but exoerimenting really helped me learn how MY body worked and how much I needed to eat to lose and now to maintain. Especially when exercise is involved. I suggest really measuring everything, not guesstimating the portions, and logging them into SP for 1 week and see how your body reacts. Pay attention to the protein and sodium #s too because you want higher protein than the minimum and watch the sodium intake becuase that number alone can trhow off all other hard work. <BR/>And don't forget to eat yoru fruit and veggies and drink your water. <BR/>Good luck!!!Swizzlepophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596940152381464220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174683745084046065.post-16494976136604442092008-01-29T19:34:00.000-05:002008-01-29T19:34:00.000-05:00oh I have been there and it sucks! but your hard w...oh I have been there and it sucks! but your hard work WILL pay off, even if it seems like its not. every day you exercise or eat healthy, you are changing your life and your health and that is not always measured by a scale. <BR/><BR/>very true about WW...first time I did them, I didnt write everything down and filled up my points with junk. didnt get me very far!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938217552213908906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174683745084046065.post-19271444431088452492008-01-29T19:28:00.000-05:002008-01-29T19:28:00.000-05:00I know it can be tough sometimes, but you have to ...I know it can be tough sometimes, but you have to work through it. I have lost 30 lb's so far using calorie counter and sparkpeople. There have been periods of time where my scale has barely budged, but I'm in it for the long term. If I had been perfect since I started, I would be at my goal by now, but instead I still have 12 more lb's to go (well...that was what it said on my WI day last Fri, now it says i have 14 more to go and I have been good!).<BR/>But I know that my goal is a healthy body first and foremost. As long as I am eating well and exercising regularly I know that I am working towards good health. The number on the scale is just a number. If I reach my goal in April or I reach it in June, it won't change that I will still be eating healthy and exercising regularly, whatever the scale says.<BR/>We all get obsessed with the numbers, but while that's the easiest way to measure your goal, is that your true goal? <BR/>You've been doing really well. Good for you for not binging. If a scale free month is what will work for you, then go for it. If you need it to help keep you on track, then use it when you can.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00308769179552716517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174683745084046065.post-43174041342777403902008-01-29T19:01:00.000-05:002008-01-29T19:01:00.000-05:00I love scale free Feb - Im going to try it.

And keep trudging along to the gym and eating healthy and all that jazz because sooner or later (hopefully sooner) you're gonna bust to a new lower number and be SO GLAD you sweated your butt off at the gym instead of drowning your sorrows in Panera. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.<BR/><BR/>Plateau-ers UNITE!FAT BRIDESMAIDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03230039625994850366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174683745084046065.post-85951722462094858532008-01-29T13:33:00.000-05:002008-01-29T13:33:00.000-05:00I really like your idea of a "Scale-Free February"...I really like your idea of a "Scale-Free February" that is a wonderful idea!!!!
